The great challenge for the presidential election year in Brazil was to manipulate public opinion, Oscar reflected as he boarded his private jet heading to the GlobalNews headquarters in São Paulo.His children, as usual, were already waiting for him at the company headquarters to discuss some journalistic approaches they could take in the news and newspapers to ensure their father’s great desire could be fulfilled quickly, especially since everyone was supporting the far-right. In the meeting room, everyone discussed marketing strategies they could apply to influence society in their choice of candidates. If the far-right won, Oscar’s family would secure several government agreements that would help them grow even more.And that’s exactly what happened when they organized several electronic voting machines that granted votes to the far-right if someone voted for the far-left. In the end, the right won by a comfortable margin, generating numerous protests across Brazil.But Oscar’s children didn’t care; they all wanted to satisfy the desires of the CEO and founder of the company. Even though this left the employees of GlobalNews quite unhappy with the results, as the vast majority knew that this outcome was incriminating and extremely harmful to the country itself.Emanuel and Samuel were very pleased with the results, but Paloma was more ethical and very concerned about the direction Brazil would take with such an authoritarian figure in power. In the end, she yielded to the company’s celebrations because it would bring her more money than if the left had come to power.Immediately after the first speech to the nation, the president called Oscar’s children to congratulate them on the excellent work. However, everyone thought he was a complete fool and that they had only done it to secure more funding for their network and nothing more.Some employees learned about the company’s manipulation strategy, but who would file a lawsuit with a lawyer to report them? That’s right! Absolutely no one.Oscar’s children were not very well-liked within the company; but who cared since they were the heirs of a multimillionaire? They were all used to giving orders as if they were choosing the best clothes for each occasion. They had various advisors who did everything within their reach, and many said the family’s security system was much better than that of the President of the United States.Oscar had a fortune that never left the list of the 10 richest people in the world, according to Forbes. This gave them considerable influence in the business sector, even choosing the country’s president without any competition of equal stature.Consequently, every communication company created in the country was sold to GlobalNews for a price that any novice CEO would sell without thinking twice. However, there was a problem with all this. Their streaming service was terrible. It took a long time to load even if the person had excellent internet. So, they discovered a hacker who could make all their media content load faster for the audience that opted to watch the news through the mobile app. They decided to hire him for a completely high fee to resolve the loading issue.Later, the magnate’s family discovered that the famous hacker also owned a technology company, and they immediately decided to buy it, claiming to the press that they did not like competition in their field.Months passed, and GlobalNews had no more problems with its news apps. Most Brazilians said they relied on that newspaper, which projected the image that luxury and power were the best things capitalism had invented since the emergence of the monarchy. Many struggled to survive, while others simply reaped all the profits that inequality could provide for the ever-wealthier class.
